I think my TBR list just got longer!
Hi Ash! I’m so sorry I haven’t been around more this year (your blog is as gorgeous as ever!) – 2012 has not been a glorious year with family health worries and other nasties keeping me away from the blog and interweb.
I LOVE Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark, so I’m thrilled that her foray into YA is just as awesome! I must get my grubby little hands on a copy…
Hope you’re feeling better and that you had a great Christmas with the family!
I read Down To You just yesterday = LOVED!! Can’t wait for the next book super soon!
Some of these others would’ve made my list too if I’d have done one but WOW Down To You was sizzlin.
My 2013 New Year’s goal is to make your next list!
Ahhh! A lot of these I haven’t read! Totally need to! Great List!

I guess I should keep reading Poison Princess since you loved it so much. IDK there is just a LOT going on in the story right now and I’m not sure how all the random pieces are going to come together! I guess I better keep reading to find out.
Thanks for showing off such a great list!
